Traditional Decorating in
Sunny Yellow

A Yellow View

Manhattan’s historic Osborne Building, New York’s original luxury apartments, required a decorating update respectful of the architecture’s age and integrity. The entry’s walls were enriched with warm terra-cotta Venetian plaster, while mellow yellow-gold beckons in the family room beyond.

Tip: Even when adjoining rooms are visible, it’s still safe to change colors from one room to the next if you pick a palette of neighboring hues from the color wheel. Orange-red and yellow are next-door neighbors, guaranteed to live in harmony.
